"I object!" — Elle Woods, Legally Blonde
Labor and employment attorney Avery Locklear knows how to make a strong case, and this time she’s taking on something a little more... fabulous. Join Avery, a Ward and Smith labor and employment attorney, alongside Kayla Britt, Assistant Attorney General at the NCDOT, for a lively discussion on the legal and ethical issues in Legally Blonde.
The event, “Mingling with Membership: Legally Blonde Movie Discussion,” hosted by the North Carolina Bar Association, is set for Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Elle Woods or just curious about how Hollywood stacks up against real-life legal challenges, this event is for you.
Together, Avery and Kayla will dive into the film’s portrayal of critical legal concepts, like attorney-client privilege, lawyer objectivity, perjury, discrimination, and even the challenges women face in the legal profession. They’ll also discuss the ethical implications of law students representing clients and how courtroom antics might play out in reality.
And just like Elle, this event is equal parts brains and fun. Light snacks and beverages will be served, and for those who can’t make it in person, there’s a virtual option via Zoom. The link will be sent out on Monday, April 21.
Register today and get ready to channel your inner Elle Woods—because sometimes you just have to object!
